Thailand is gearing up for an extended three-week Songkran festival this year, expected to significantly boost the country's tourism sector, with projected revenues reaching into the tens of billions of baht.

utter nonsense, what tourists, do they mean Thais who cannot afford to party for a week, this just sounds like desperation

Obviously, we all have ideas what might have happened. 

But I find it always amazing that within 10 comments we have at least three who are sure what must have happened - and all have different stories. Amazing! 

and you have contributed absolutely nothing to the thread except criticism of other posters - you are very close to my ignore list

Anchisa said the foreigner’s Thai wife had told her that when her husband was heavily drunk after consuming more than six bottles of beer he did not listen to anyone.

not stating he had 6 beers in her bar in factt doesn't say how many beers they had or how long they were in there, lack of details in this report is problematic

Aren't "lady drinks" fake drinks that men are required to "buy" in order to pay for the company of bar girls?  Why would his wife be buying "lady drinks"?  I doubt she works in the bar.  Or do you think she was trying to get more money from her husband and into the bar by buying the girls "lady drinks"?

i've seen this happen many times were wives/girlfriends of farangs buy lady drinks - it's a status thing

[Western Engineer Assaults Pattaya Bar Women In Row Over Bill]

I'll bet his wife bought beer on his behalf and he wasn't aware of this, not hard to run up a bill of 1000baht when buying lady drinks, still hardly worth all this trouble for 1000baht

very difficult to justify this shooting, you can't just shoot someone because they are in your garden, the fact he was shot twice in the buttocks contradicts what shooter said - "he continued to advance", was he running away ?, maybe all the shots were like this

I honestly can't figure out how they don't realise that like it or not, we (filthy foreigners) make up 30% of GDP, might be a bit less recently, what is wrong with this idiot, is he so rich he doesn't give a #, well that is probaby 100% correct

I good mate of mine from my working days lives in that area and he told many guys leave bars totally bombed and get into their cars as they believe there's no one watching them. I've been there in the day time and the roads are rather winding plus a gut full of booze can be a lethal mixture.

Most of the area, not used for building is just scrub land round central pattaya.

Grub it all out and build them shop houses. or maybe a factory employing 100 people. or just a nice house for some well off Thai family.

Plenty of jungle a few Kilometers out of town.

 

 

 

 

my point was about the wildlife that existed there

NB. I missed the bit about 1,000m² in your opening post. That's only 0.1ha, not the the 10ha you subsequently alluded to.

 

Let me guess further....metrology isn't your strong point?

typo, should ha been 100m but the area itself is about 100m/500m

Then before the cops got on the scene the hoe was not where it was supposed to be (murder weapon) it was moved by the gardener, 200m from the murder scene, but a certain individual had already decided it was the murder weapon ?????? and went looking for the gardner to have him put it back against the tree ..................... that is some #### genius detective work right there

How is it that you know that she was unfaithful?

from what I understand  David and Hannah were just new friends, they stayed at the same residence 200m from the beach where they were both murdered, Hannah left the bar before David, what happened after that is guessing, another resident heard screaming on the beach, David likely heard it too on his way home and decided to investigate, these cowardly thugs murdered them both, David is a hero.

 

the wounds that were on Davids arms were very compelling - puncture wounds about 2cm long - I know what caused those wounds - ingnored by autopsy because they were told to ignore

agree, this was not a simple rape and murder - it was revenge with Malice and retribution by someone who was refused by Hannah in the bar - do you know who I am

I try to avoid mixing with Thais on a night out - impossible on Koh Tao, they are literally preying on young western girls, i'd be willing to bet that even though we have heard nothing about KTao these last few years - there have incidents that go unreported - 100% certain
